100: Chapter 100 This student is quite polite
Don't put all your eggs in one basket.
Lin Fang's idea was simple: businesses that could be brought into the light could be conducted in the Central Continent or Switzerland.
But for activities that couldn't be brought into the light or conducted openly, he needed to find another place. Molo, which had now become his own territory, was naturally the best place to go.
Although it was so poor that even birds wouldn't lay eggs there, and the infrastructure was backward—even basic communication was a problem... er, it didn't matter. As long as he spent some time and money, all these could be solved.
It just so happened that Lin Fang was currently rolling in money.
"Don't look at me like that. Someone will meet you when you get there." After the agreement was signed, Lin Fang kicked Li Chengjian out.
After he closed the door, Lin Fang frowned as he looked at a message on his phone. The sender was named Zhang Rongtao, a college classmate and roommate of Lin Fang.
The content of the text message was bad news: their counselor, Hu Dalei, had been diagnosed with late-stage Liver Cancer and was currently receiving treatment at the Coastal Sea First Tumor Hospital, but his condition was not optimistic.
Late-stage Liver Cancer?
Lin Fang recalled that middle-aged man who would always hold forth on international affairs in university politics classes and slap the podium to emphasize that young people needed drive. He sighed in his heart. Although Hu Dalei had a loud voice, he was truly excellent to his students, and Lin Fang had received quite a bit of care from him.
He was the one who had initially approved his application for a leave of absence.
How could it be that after only two years, he was now about to kick the bucket? Didn't Brother Hu Dalei love drinking tea for health? Lin Fang was a bit puzzled.
"Little Black, check his situation."
[Received]
In less than a second, Hu Dalei's current situation appeared on the office computer in front of Lin Fang, along with a surveillance recording of his wife talking to the attending Doctor.
In the recording, the woman pleaded with red eyes.
"Is there no other way, Doctor? We will find a way to scrape together whatever money it takes. Please, you must think of a way."
The attending Doctor sighed and pushed up his glasses: "Ms. Chen, your husband's condition is indeed not very optimistic. It is late-stage Liver Cancer, especially since it has already spread to the lymph nodes. The effect of conventional treatment is very limited. Our current plan is mainly to alleviate pain and extend life, but two months is the limit, unless..."
Closing the video, Lin Fang thought for a moment and decided to delay his trip to the U.S. to visit that important partner of Orion by two days.
"Little Black, contact Delison."
After confirming the research and development progress of Professor Delison in Switzerland, Lin Fang got up and walked out.

The next day,
Thanks to the convenience of transportation, it only took Lin Fang two hours to fly from Tian Port back to Coastal Sea.
After obtaining Hu Dalei's room number at the hospital service desk, Lin Fang carried a bag of fruit and headed straight to the fifth floor of the inpatient department.
In the corridor outside the VIP ward of the Coastal Sea First Tumor Hospital, the smell of disinfectant mixed with some kind of floral scent, creating an uncomfortable and strange atmosphere.
"Lin Fang? It really is you!"
Seeing the person arrive, a thin boy wearing a plaid shirt came up to greet him. It was Zhang Rongtao, who had sent the message to Lin Fang. On the chairs nearby, several other young men and women were sitting.
"Two years no see, you've changed a lot. I almost didn't recognize you. Where are your glasses?"
Zhang Rongtao originally wanted to put his arm around Lin Fang's shoulder, but just as he raised his hand, he pulled it back.
The Lin Fang in front of him was nothing like the silent student who wore black-rimmed glasses and always huddled in the library back then. His figure was tall and straight, and his brows and eyes exuded an invisible aura. Just standing there casually made people afraid to approach him easily.
"I don't need them anymore."
Seeing his old brother from the same dormitory, Lin Fang said a rare bit of small talk: "Taozi, how is Brother Hu Dalei doing?"
Hearing the familiar address, Zhang Rongtao's expression relaxed: "The situation isn't very good. His wife doesn't want to give up and is discussing it with the Doctor inside. Before you came, two experts from abroad also went in..."
Looking at the tightly closed ward, Lin Fang had no choice but to wait outside with Taozi. Seeing this, the others also greeted Lin Fang.
Lin Fang didn't have a deep memory of them, but they were taught by the same teachers after all. Being able to come here to visit Hu Dalei showed that their character wasn't bad. Lin Fang was happy to communicate with these naive college students.
If he weren't trying to save the World, he would be one of them.
Hearing them worrying about where to intern, Lin Fang revealed his identity and recommended they go to work at Third-Party Technology in Coastal Sea. When they learned that Lin Fang was the behind-the-scenes boss of this enterprise worth hundreds of billions, they exclaimed repeatedly, providing plenty of emotional value.
"Holy crap! You started Third-Party Technology?!"
Zhang Rongtao cursed directly: "I thought it was just the same name. Brother Fang, you are the founder?! Take us along!"
The others were even more shocked. My classmate is an industry giant; it's like being in a movie.
"Taozi, tone it down, tone it down..."
Lin Fang waved his hand and sighed helplessly. He actually didn't want to show off, but these few were rare talents from the university, and it would be a pity if they didn't come to work for him.
As they were talking, the ward door opened. A middle-aged man wearing a white coat with a name tag that read "Deputy Chief Physician Liu Youwei" walked out with two other foreign experts, followed by a woman with red, swollen eyes.
"Ms. Chen, the treatment plan I just mentioned is currently the most advanced internationally. Although the cost is as high as 12 million, it can extend the patient's life by at least one to two years."
Zhou Ming glanced at her discreetly, his tone sincere: "Of course, the final decision is in your hands."
"..."
Listening to their conversation, Zhang Rongtao muttered secretly in Lin Fang's ear: "Brother Fang, it's so expensive. I think there's something fishy. I searched for information on tumors for two days, and I've never heard of foreign technology being this amazing. Could they be scammers? This Liu Youwei is famous, but his reputation on the forums is mediocre..."
"And the funeral wreath I bought for Brother Hu Dalei is almost here."
Lin Fang looked at Zhang Rongtao in surprise. He didn't expect him to be so concerned about Hu Dalei's affairs. He was worthy of being the politics class representative valued by Hu Dalei.
He was right. Liu Youwei and these two foreign experts indeed had problems. The latter two had started swindling people based on a few papers published in second-rate journals, while Liu Youwei had taken their kickbacks and specialized in connecting them within domestic hospitals to scam family members of patients who were desperate for treatment.
He didn't even look at ordinary people.
Treatments often ended up being unresolved due to some 'accidents' after collecting high fees.
Being able to become a chief physician in a large hospital meant Liu Youwei had real talent, but unfortunately, he was going to be finished today.
Lin Fang's peripheral vision had already spotted the hospital Dean and several people from the Health Commission walking furiously toward them from the end of the corridor. Little Black also told him that the Police were on their way.
There was no need to expose him on the spot. Reporting him along the way was something a young man of ambition was duty-bound to do.
"Doctor Liu, can I go in to visit my teacher?"
"Of course you can."
Watching Liu Youwei, who was unaware that disaster was imminent and was still talking vividly at the door, Lin Fang greeted him and walked into the ward.
"Not bad, this student is quite polite."
Liu Youwei praised as he watched his back.
